MONROEVILLE AL AREA SAMPLER
Piece 2: Harper Lee Gravesite/Truman Capote Childhood Homesite/David’s Catfish

#harperlee #tokillamockingbird #monroeville
Harper Lee, author of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” died in February 2016 and is interred at Hillcrest Cemetery off Pineville Road in Monroeville AL. Her gravesite is among those of other family members, including her sister Alice who died in 2014.
Ms. Lee’s cemetery marker is typically covered in pennies, the most common way people acknowledge their visit. The day we visited, there were a variety of items there…a decorative plate, little potted plants, a rock, a shell, and even an aluminum pop top off a food can (perhaps a nod to Ms. Lee’s frugal lifestyle).
A somewhat nondescript sign just off South Alabama Avenue in Monroeville marks the site of the Faulk family home, where a very young Truman Capote spent summer vacations and briefly lived.
When it was time to eat, we had to try a restaurant reputed to be one of Harper Lee’s favorite dining spots in town, David’s Catfish House.
Located about five miles south of the Old Courthouse, off U.S. Highway 84, David’s did not disappoint. The cole slaw was especially good; a flavorful complement to the fried catfish.

DECATUR AL WILDLIFE/HIST./BBQ SAMPLER
Piece 1: Wheeler Wildlife Refuge (WWR)

#decaturalabama #wildliferefuge
Nestled along the Tennessee River in Decatur AL lies the picturesque Wheeler Wildlife Refuge. Spanning over 35,000 acres of diverse habitats, this refuge is a haven for both wildlife and nature enthusiasts alike.
Established in 1938 as a breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife species, Wheeler Wildlife Refuge offers a remarkable variety of ecosystems that support over 300 bird species, including rare and endangered ones like the Bald Eagle and Red-cockaded Woodpecker.
Wheeler’s visitor center is a comfortable and well-appointed facility, with a nice display of wildlife scenes and a brief film about the refuge featuring exceptional videography.
Bird watching is perhaps the most popular activity at Wheeler, and the climate controlled observation building (just a short walk from the visitor’s center) offers great views of Sandhill Cranes, Whooping Cranes, ducks, geese, raptors, and the occasional Bald Eagle.
The refuge is also a habitat for numerous mammal species such as white-tailed deer, bobcats, foxes, and even American black bears.
However, the highlight of our visit to Wheeler was probably the boardwalk trail (which begins just steps from the visitor center) that winds through a Tupelo Tree swamp.
